And the UKs entry for Eurovision is....

BONNIE TYLER
 
Welsh pop singer Bonnie Tyler has been confirmed as the UK representative at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. She is best known for her 1983 Total Eclipse of the Heart and has a great reputation across Europe with many fans. The 61 year old said she was "honoured" to be given the job. She will perform the song "Believe in Me" which is the video below.
 
 

She will sing in front of around 120 million viewers in Malmo, Sweden on May 18th. The UK entry for the 58th Eurovision Song Contest was written by American songwriter Desmond Child with British songwriters Lauren Christy and Christopher Braide. The writer has worked on numerous Bonnie Tyler hits and written hits for Kiss, Bon Jovi and even Ricky Martin with "Livin' la Vida Loca"
 

The UK last won the Eurovision in 1997 when Katrina and the Waves received 227 points for their song Love Shine a Light.

Lets hope she can at least get above last years place of 25/26 with Engelburt Humperdinck.
